The hurt doesn't go away, the tears never cease to fall,

You cover them over with people and places,

Hoping you'll want to break away.

Oh my darling, the pain doesn't go away,

When love doesn't want to stay.

And inside your laughter, the world's laughing too,

Saying you'll never make one more day.

All the nonsense of it and oh, the pain doesn't go away.

The tears never cease to fall, the hurt doesn't go away.

The pain doesn't go away.
